misnomer: Drunken Boat

June 10, 2001

Drunken Boat

Drunken Boat, a journal of the arts [online]. Always good to see a new zine. I haven't got around to reading any of the articles, but a friend recommended it. The web art section is promising, but mostly unengaging. Web art that I've seen tries too hard to be non-linear and somehow cutting edge, and tends to substitute ambiguity for substance. Maybe I just don't get it, and maybe that's a problem. Maybe not.

The Drunken Boat, by Arthur Rimbaud. Good poem.

Drunken Boat, a song by the Pogues (sans Shane MacGowan), inspired by Rimbaud.

About

Misnomer is a weblog about the politics of new and old media, foreign policy, tech, culture, philosophy, and photography. It is maintained by Dru Oja Jay, who edits a newspaper called the Dominion. He lives in Mile End, a neighbourhood of Montréal, Québec, which is, in some ways, a part of Canada, which in turn subsists on occupied native land to which Canada doesn't actually hold the title. He also travels a lot.

The Dominion

The Dominion is a newspaper with the aim of promoting decent journalism, annoying the overwhelmingly right wing Canadian press, and being non-profit and democratically accountable. All at once. This newspaper also has its own weblog, where I post often.

Others

Some other folks who contribute to misnomer from time to time include Kendall Clark, John Haney, Amanda Jernigan, Ola Mork, and Sylvia Nickerson.
